Story
Bingham Model Raceway (BMR) is a not for profit R/C model car club set up to serve the R/C community in the Mid East region. The track being built will primarily be for 1/10th scale electric off road vehicles such as 2wd and 4wd buggies, short course trucks and rally cars.
The plan is to run weekly club meetings, weekend summer and winter championships, as well as BRCA sanctioned regional and national events. Two Mid East regional events are already pencilled in the diary for 28th May (2wd) and 20th August (4wd) so the pressure is on to get the track ready.
So what do we need? Well items ticked off so far include a venue, lots of soil to create jumps and general layouy and astroturf to go over the top. We are now looking to source some of the high value items such as track markers, and an AMB timing loop system.
The key aim of the club is to engage new people into the sport. One big plus of this activity is its all inclusive nature. Young or old, male or female, able bodied or disabled, everyone is welcome and able to compete on the same level.
So please please give what you can to enable this club to realise its ambitions and start serving the community.
Many thanks the BMR team

7 years agoFirstly a big thank you to those who have donated. Over the festive period we have managed two solid days at the track which has involved lots of digging, landscaping and installing drainage. The back straight and banked corner at the end of it are almost complete and we have test fitted the astroturf to give an idea of what it will look like. We are hoping to attend most weekends now to get the track ready with an estimated opening date of mid April.

7 years agoWork has already started on this project in Lieu of the money raised here. Around 400SQM of astroturf has been purchased and the field is starting to be landscaped. Still Plenty to do but we're still on target to be ready before our first Mid East regional 28th May.
